Mormon 8:5

Behold, my father hath made this record,

and he hath written the intent thereof.

And behold, I would write it also

if I had room upon the plates,

but I have not;

and ore I have none,

for I am alone.

My father hath been slain in battle,

and all my kinsfolk,

and I have not friends nor whither to go;

and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not.

Mormon 8:10

And there are none that do know the true God

save it be the disciples of Jesus, who did tarry in the land

until the wickedness of the people was so great

that the Lord would not suffer them to remain with the people;

and whether they be upon the face of the land no man knoweth.

Mormon 8:12

And whoso receiveth this record, and shall not condemn it

because of the imperfections which are in it,

the same shall know of greater things than these.

Behold, I am Moroni;

and were it possible,

I would make all things known unto you.

Mormon 9:4

Behold, I say unto you

that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God,

under a consciousness of your filthiness before him,

than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell.

Mormon 9:15

And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves

a god who can do no miracles,

I would ask of you,

have all these things passed, of which I have spoken?

Has the end come yet?

Behold I say unto you, Nay;

and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

Mormon 9:19

And if there were miracles wrought

then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles

and yet be an unchangeable Being?

And behold, I say unto you

he changeth not;

if so he would cease to be God;

and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles.

Mormon 9:33

And if our plates had been sufficiently large

we should have written in Hebrew;

but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also;

and if we could have written in Hebrew,

behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record.
